Where to get non-reman (or quality) front calipers

This will be the third set of lifetime swap front calipers on my truck. Does anyone know where I can find quality calipers where I do not have to worry the guy rebuilding them had a hangover that day?

This is really frustrating having to go through this process yet again. The problem is they are leaking.

Any links, places to look, etc would be appreciated.

Call www.appliedrotortechnology.com and www.frozenrotors.com and ask them about quality calipers. They might sell them or recommend someone.

Re: Where to get non-reman (or quality) front calipers

You could try here: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/BrakeCalipe.../FSeriesPickup

I did not see a listing for the bolt on calipers. I have a '94 D60 under my truck and they have listing. Maybe if you do an indepth search, they might have one.
